JAMB 2016 Registration Closing Date

 The closing date for the registration of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) as earlier announced by JAMB remains January 16th, 2016.
Though there are rumours that there's likely going to be an extension, our JAMB source has notified us that there is no official statement to that effect yet.
We therefore wish to advise all Myschoolers who are yet to purchase their 2016 UTME forms to do so on or before January 15th, 2016.
This also extends to candidates who are still waiting for supplementary or additional list of their choice schools for the 2015/2016 admission year to be released.
It is always a bad idea to have all your eggs in one basket. There is no 100% guarantee that your name will appear on the list even if the school eventually releases it.
To be on a safe side, get the JAMB form before it expires. That way, even if you miss the 2015/2016 admission, you will still stand a chance in the 2016/2017 session.
However, if JAMB eventually extends the registration, we will be the first to inform you about that

Robbers Disguise As Policemen, Attack, Rape Corps Members

  Seven corps members returning from the recent holidays were among the 16 passengers attacked by robbers at a spot on the Kaduna-Abuja highway on Sunday.
The females among the corps members serving in Enugu and Ebonyi states were reportedly defiled by the hoodlums who blocked the highway to stop vehicles.
A victim of the attack told theNews Agency of Nigeriain Enugu on Friday that the 16-seater bus carrying them was attacked by the robbers who disguised as policemen.
She said that the bus left Television Garage in Kaduna around 8:30pm and was attacked a few kilometres away from the garage.
The victim further said the robbers mounted a road block to give the impression that they were policemen on duty.
“As we approached the road block, the driver noticed that they were not policemen and tried to retreat but it was late.
“The robbers sensing what our driver wanted to do, left other cars and descended on us,” she said.
The victim said that the robbers forcefully defiled all the female corps members in the bus and took all their belongings which included laptops, jewelries, handsets, foodstuffs and money.
The corps member appealed to the government to ensure adequate security on the highways.

Federal Government Plans to extend NYSC scheme underway

The NigerianFederal Governmenthas revealed plans to extend the National Youth Service Corps programme.
This is according to Minister of Youth Development and Sports,Mr. Solomon Dalongduring a speech at Lagos State NYSC orientation camp.

Dalong, has said the Federal Government plans to expand theNational Youth Service Corpsscheme to include skill acquisition and entrepreneurial training.

He said, “Apart from the basic orientation programme, the NYSC scheme should also move into including professional and enterprising programmes to support and motivate those who would not want to embrace public services in the country.

“After the mandatory one-year service, the Federal Government is planning an extension, to professionally train interested corps members in skill acquisition, enterprising and professional programmes.

“Corps members with keen interest would be retained and some financial token given to them as start-up capital in furtherance of their skill.

“This is because due to our research, we found out that people abandon school due to uncertainty of the future. Hence, we believe this would help reduce the unemployed graduate ratio and curtail pressure on white-collar job as a means to win the war against poverty.”

He also assured that any candidate who took part in the additional training after the mandatory one-year service, will be presented with a start-up capital at the end of the training.

FreedomCatholic bishop responsible for release of JSS 2 student, 25 others from prison

The Catholic Bishop of Yola Diocese in Adamawa State, Most Rev.Stephen Dami Mamza, has facilitated thereleaseof 26 inmates serving various prison sentences at the Yola Maximum Prison.

According toThe Eaglereports, Mamza took this action in order to commemorate 2016 as the Year of Peace as set aside by the Pontiff, Pope Frances II.
The bishop explained, during a short speech at the prison, that he felt compassion for the inmates who have been in prison for over a year simply because they could not afford to pay the fine needed for their release.

Speaking on how he found out about the plight of the inmate, Mamza disclosed that when he visited the prisons last Christmas, one of them revealed that he was sentenced to 2 years, but given an option of N700 fine.

Bishop Mamzasaid: “One of them in prison jailed for two years was unable to pay N700 as the option of fine but he couldn’t afford to pay and he is serving two years.
“For some others, it is N1,000.
“But the highest is only about N15,000.
“So I got somebody to compile those affected.

“I decided to do this because this year is very special and has been declared by the Holy Farther Pope Francis as the Year of Mercy.

“We need to be merciful to one another so that God can be merciful to us.
“We must remain our brother’s keepers and love those who are in need.”

One of the release inmates,Blessing Ishaku, a 15-year-old JSS 2 student, said she was arrested by vigilantes while sitting outside her house and taken to a police station and she was taken to court and jailed for three years with an option fine of N15,000, but she was unable to pay the fine so she has spent one month at the Yola Prison. She was thankful that she avoided the jail sentence of 3 years which would have been her fate, and thanked the Catholic church for coming to her rescue.

Kebbi Students Lament Non-Payment Of Scholarship Fees

Some students from Kebbi state during the weekend expressed displeasure over the non-payment of their scholarship by the state government.

In a meeting with the state governor, Abubakar Bagudu the delegation of 40 students were by Musa Bunza and Abdulrahman Diri from Ahmadu Bello University Zaria (ABU Zaria) and Usman Danfodio University Sokoto (UDUS) respectively laid several complaints on a backlog of registration fees among others.

Some of the students from ABU Zaria disclosed that they have not received either registration or scholarship payments for the past eight years.

The student leaders added that previous administrations had made several random payments blindly under executive orders.

“No verifiable records of how many students are from the state or even the amount paid exist, the funds appropriated goes in cash to various people, while most students deny receiving such scholarship provisions.

“A fraudulent observation made was that each time this cash get approved, students have already paid their fees and most of them are not usually refunded,”a student lamented.

Also, some of the Kebbi student indigenes at the Sokoto state University complained of inadequate or lack of accommodation.
In his response to the student’s plight, the state governor promised to accelerate all due payments and to look into ways of providing hostel for Kebbi students.
Bagudu said that there would be a total overhauling of the education sector by his administration which he said will not just cover registration for students but living expenses.

He said with the review of student’s scholarships in the state, it is expected that confirmed students will get up to 40% to 50% increase in funding.

“For the First time ever, we actually now know Kebbi state has 4,097 students in Usman Danfodio University Sokoto alone, this figure was gotten after the government ordered the state scholarship board to carry out a verification exercise of all students,”Bagudu said.

Bagudu further approved the release of N130,051,000 for the payment of registration fees, matriculation of the undergraduate students in the institution.
He ordered that all the students who had offset their fees be refunded.

“Also, approval has already been given for the 60 Kebbi state medical students studying in Sudan and India. Delays are being experienced in transferring the money due to the new foreign exchange guidelines,”he said.

However, the governor gave assurance that the issue was under review by the Central Bank of Nigeria was being looked at holistically by the CBN.

It has also been discovered that most often students from the state do not formally apply for scholarship.
It was gathered that some of the students assume that since they are from a state then scholarship is automatic.

“Scholarship is not an automatic right, it has to be applied for through the scholarship board not the governor,”the governor said.

Before now, scholarships were approved from the office of the state governor but Bagudu noted that the practise will not continue under his administration.

He said that all applications must be sent through the state’s scholarship board and approvals gotten from them.

No Plans To Abolish NYSC Scheme – FG

The Federal government of Nigeria, Tuesday asserted that there is no plan to abolish the National Youth Service Corps scheme.
The Minister of Youth Development and Sports, Mr. Solomon Dalong who made this know in Lagos on Tuesday, said the scheme had come to stay, adding that its merits outweighed its demerits.
The minister said this during an inspection tour of the Lagos State NYSC orientation camp in the Iyana Ipaya area of the state on Tuesday.
He stressed that the scheme had not only enhanced the socio-cultural and ethnic integration in the country but had also promoted national unity.
He said, “We cannot dismiss the gains of the NYSC scheme in integrating Nigeria; I will stand firmly for the sustenance of the system, to continue in its capacity-building of Nigeria citizens because it is an indispensable aspect of diversifying our culture.”
He said such graduates would be provided with a start-up capital at the end of the training, which according to him would indirectly stimulate interest in education.
“Apart from the basic orientation programme, the NYSC scheme should also move into including professional and enterprising programmes to support and motivate those who would not want to embrace public services in the country.
“After the mandatory one-year service, the Federal Government is planning an extension, to professionally train interested corps members in skill acquisition, enterprising and professional programmes.
“Corps members with keen interest would be retained and some financial token given to them as start-up capital in furtherance of their skill. This is because due to our research, we find out that people abandon school due to uncertainty of the future. Hence, we believe this would help reduce the unemployed graduate ratio and curtail pressure on white-collar job as a means to win the war against poverty”, he further stated.
Dalong expressed satisfaction over the state of the Lagos NYSC orientation camp, and thanked the Lagos State government for its support for the scheme.
He said, “Nigeria did not plan to have the number of graduates in this present dispensation. If we had planned effectively, the concept of NYSC camping would have started with a permanent and effective structure.
“The visionaries of the scheme did not anticipate the lifespan of the scheme after the Civil War; the implementation of the scheme was a strategy to mobilise and integrate Nigerians together, hence, the huge number of graduates each year has put much pressure on the facilities, calling for constant renovation and upgrading,” the minister said.

Change is coming to LASU, hostels as wel

Undergraduates of the Lagos State University Ojo, will finally get the hostels they have long desired and craved.
The Lagos state Government has also approved 70 years as retirement age for professors of the institution.
Governor Akinwumi Ambode on Tuesday, signed the Lagos State University (Amendment) Bill, into law at the Lagos House, Ikeja.
The Bill, which was signed into law, also approved a five-year single term for the Vice-Chancellor of the school.
Ambode said the law was aimed at raising the standard of the school to an enviable position and making LASU a school to be proud of.
“It is the desire of the state government to build a LASU that will produce better students. In the next
few days, changes will begin to happen in the school.”
Ambode stated that the law was a demonstration of his commitment to actualise the dream of the founding fathers of the institution, while adding that
he was determined to see LASU develop and churn
out young professionals.
